Can you think of a better negative example of extreme dogmatism? Nietzsche said, "The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments." (I like to throw around Nietzsche quotes because I'm an intellectual superman) The WBC intentionally martyrs itself as the targets of our hatred, there's no doubting that. If they wanted their opinions to be taken into serious consideration they'd sit down for a cup of tea or write a book. Instead they parade about with signs that might as well say "HATE US" and "RELIGION IS BAD."  
Consider the following.

The WBC are the most brilliant, dedicated trolls on the face of the Earth. Think of all they've given up for the sake of tarnishing the face of fundamentalist Christianity. I'm thinking of sending them a cake. I know they won't eat it, but maybe they'll appreciate the thought. <3

WBC are pacifists.  That speaks in their credit.

I can't agree with anything they say, and very little they do, but I am grateful that they do not actually physically hut anyone.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

No, it's easier to use tort law.

They encourage the banning and/or killing of homosexuals in the United States.

They're as pacifist as Lester Fucking Maddox.

They might as well be jackbooted thugs.

Correct. Their primary mode of operation is to incite others to violence against them (or insert other _Sue-able Offense_ here), and then milk $$$$$$$$ out of the target. This includes "egregores" like city and municipal governments, etc, etc.

They attempt to incite OTHERS to violence, because it gives them an excuse to both play the martyr card AND raise funds.  Or did you think it's an accident that most of them are lawyers?

Seeing Kevin Smith's RED STATE on Tuesday in Denver.

Can't wait to see the fictitious portrayal of a murderous fred phelps getting butchered.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human
